George Weigel, 2011 indicates the following: 1. Dhimmitude - a second-class citizenship that exists in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Palestine. This constitutes 90% of Christian Arabs. They are at the greatest risk jihadism and Islamism. 2. Being in this state for generations, they have forgotten what freedom is like and now survive by silently accepting their atrocious condition, kowtowing to authority/"benefactors",and blaming Israel. 3. Emigration and contraception has lessened their numbers, and theirfore their influence. 4. Lack of leadership, lay and clerical, equals no alternative to dominant idealogies. 5. Western indifference and tolerance of atrocities.
